  • Cigar information

    I enjoy the show and would like to smoke what the hosts are smoking while I listen. If the cigar that will be smoked is somewhere in the episode description or a website would be helpful. Thank you.

  • Great show but need new host.

    I like this show, very informative if you are into cigars. Dave/Krissy/Ed make me laugh and love their banter. However Aaron (the host) needs to be replaced in my opinion. Dude comes across as so uncomfortable communicating and that nervous giggle/laugh after everything he says is so annoying. I am sure he is a good guy but not host material. They should make a change.
